Both immunization with protein and recombinant vaccinia virus can stimulate CTL specific for the E7 protein of human papilloma virus 16 in H-2d mice.
The transforming protein E7 of human papilloma virus type 16 can stimulate cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) which can protect experimental animals against growth of E7 expressing tumour cells. In this study we compared CTL responses in mice immunized with either E7 protein in MF59 adjuvant or with reco...

| description | The transforming protein E7 of human papilloma virus type 16 can stimulate cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) which can protect experimental animals against growth of E7 expressing tumour cells. In this study we compared CTL responses in mice immunized with either E7 protein in MF59 adjuvant or with recombinant vaccinia virus expressing E7 (Vac-E7). We have chosen H-2d mice because no E7-specific CTL responses have been described in this MHC haplotype. Immunization of these mice with Vac-E7 generated CTL which lysed target cells infected with Vac-E7 or transfected with the E7 gene. CTL from mice immunized with E7 protein in MF59 adjuvant showed specificity for the same target cells. Antibody blocking experiments revealed that both immunization with Vac-E7 and E7 protein stimulated CD8+ effector CTL. The find specificity of CTL induced by the two immunization protocols was similar. A major CTL epitope was mapped to the carboxyl terminal amino acids 48-98 of the E7 protein. Peptide isolation from E7 expressing cells followed by HPLC separation indicated that CTL induced by immunization with protein and Vac-E7 recognized the same HPLC purified peptide fractions. Together, the study suggests that vaccines based on protein can activate CTL with similar fine specificity to CTL induced by vaccines based on recombinant vaccinia virus. |
